⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

This team has started to decline, especially after the departure of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min. Then they were unable to find replacements for these two players, maybe they lacked the effort. Even the current team does not have the depth to compete in the Premier League. If they want to do well in the Premier League again, they must buy the necessary players. The Premier League is getting stronger by the day, so they must also increase their strength regularly.

Tottenham made the first mistake by letting Harry Kane to leave without a proper replacement. His absence had significant impact on the team and that was when they started doing bad. Without making correction for that mistake, they let Son to go again making another extra mistake still with no plan yet for proper replacement. A team that is struggling to stand its ground is busy letting their best and key players to go away without a making a more better replacement for them is like committing a suicide. They will only become more unstable if they failed to make replacements before the season begins.

Harry Kane was at the stage of his career were he Tottenham cannot stop him at all. Tottenham needed to let him go because he has grown bigger than the club and the club has nothing to offer to him. Tottenham only struggle for top 4 every season even Harry Kane was in the club. His career at Tottenham didn't give him enough good trophies but in his first two seasons at Bayern Munich, Kane has won the league and will win more trophies with his current club.

Last season was very tough for Tottenham Hotspur to the point they almost went for relegation but they manage to escape and before I knew they were going to qualify and I am sure they won't allow this happen to them again because for two past seasons now Tottenham Hotspur performance has been very down and not encouraging and I think they need as much players as possible, when I said players o mean great and skillful players.

Besides additional players, I also see the quality of the coach as crucial. If Tottenham wants to avoid two disastrous seasons, they must find an experienced coach.
The team overhaul must be carried out effectively because the competition next season will be much tougher, and relying solely on great and skilled players won't be enough. If the coach doesn't have the ability to see the quality of his players, even great players will seem useless.
Last season, Tottenham managed to escape the relegation zone, and this is an example of how this team must be thoroughly evaluated to avoid the same mistakes as last season.

[Not your key not your BTC]

Their performance has been really bad this season, and bringing in a few players probably won't turn the team into something amazing for next season's Champions League race. We haven't seen how other teams will do yet either, but I think the teams that dominated this season will still be strong next season. If the effort Tottenham is putting in is still lacking, probably not much will change in their performance.

That’s why Tottenham needs to sign some quality players across all positions to build a strong squad depth, so they can improve their performance even further from last season. Of course, the players Tottenham signs must be truly top-notch so that De Zerbi can steer the team in a better direction. However, so far I haven’t seen Tottenham being very active in the transfer market. I don’t know if they’re short on funds, which is why their moves in the transfer market seem to be lacking. So, we’ll just have to wait until the end of the transfer window to see which players Tottenham brings in, because Tottenham really needs to make major changes if they want to compete for a Champions League spot next season. and those changes are absolutely necessary.

A big change has surely been thought through by De Zerbi, and everything will depend on how the club strives to make that change happen. They have been working hard to avoid relegation, and their next hope is to improve performance. We still don’t know what results Tottenham will get, but hopefully, they’ll get good ones.

That’s why De Zerbi surely wants the front office to sign quality players who meet his criteria so that the changes he has planned can go smoothly at Tottenham. Without quality players on the roster, it will be difficult for De Zerbi to improve Tottenham’s performance next season. So, let’s see how active Tottenham’s front office is in this transfer window in order to return to the position they deserve to be in next season.

Yeah Kane situation was true, we are not seeing how things are changing and we should not be considering how this could be any different for him if he was at Spurs, sure they would have done a bit better there is no doubt but they would still not be a great team, they would not be like top four, they would just be midtable instead of bottom, but that's about it.

So it was normal for Kane to leave, because that dude deserved to be on a much better team and thanks to moving to Bayern Munich, he won so much and even did great at UCL, looked like he could have won if they scored one more. So yeah, Kane was a good decision by everyone involved, Spurs are fine and they should have some money left from that and could use that to get better.

It didn't just give him any trophy at all, and again he didn't grow bigger than the club, like no man is an island, a player can never be bigger than a club mo matter the club he plays for, the reason why Tottenham Hotspurs let him leave was because he actually gave his best to the team, imagine winning a golden boots but your club didn't win any trophy, so they had no other options than to let him go, because it will be too bad for a player at his level end his career without a trophy, so they had to let him go face other challenges, I think that's the more reason why Tottenham Hotspurs let him leave, but where they failed was to get a good replacement for him that's why they are struggling since then till now.

Another transfer is done by Tottenham! De Zerbi wanted the defender van Hecke from Brighton and they bought him right away for £52m.

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/2066932361866969202

How do you see this deal? He had a quite decent season there. De Zerbi also worked with him at Brighton of course.

That must be one of the reasons he wanted to see him in his new team. Tottenham really need a huge upgrade in their defense...

[Shussainshah]

This Cucurella's departure is definitely gonna have an effect on the Chelsea team because he's currently one of the best player for now if not the best, I don't blame him anyway, because no player will be that good and be happy to miss UEFA Champions League football, now I believe Chelsea fans has now realized that the world champions alone can't keep players in a team that doesn't qualify for any European competitions, and now that Cucurella has left the team, I still believe Manny more will leave now what will then become of them?

Xabi Alonso will be in trouble without Cucurella's in the left wing. They produce so much depth for that's left wing. I don't how xabi Alonso can manage that's wing without Cucurella's. 50 million is good price tag Chelsea got money but how they replace the Cucurella's place. O didn't see any good Leftback at the moment only alphonso Davis is perfect for replacement but Bayern can't sell him at the moment.  Maybe xabi Alonso can think about Premier league Leftback. Which have some kinda experience of PL. But wait until transfer window officially began and how xabi can do in this window to replace Cucurella's

Tottenham hotspur was not in any way stopping Harry Kane from joining another club Harry Kane was just being loyal and faithful to Tottenham hotspur and he was not ready to join another club because he wanted to stay at Tottenham hotspur and break Alan Shearer premier league all time goal record but when he notice that if he continue playing for Tottenham hotspur he could end his career without winning a trophy, so when Bayern Munich came knocking he had to join Bayern Munich so he could win trophy.

Xabi Alonso knows what is doing selling cucurella to Real Madrid I think he have another plan that is building or he have someone better then will replace him very soon. So xabi Alonso just need to sigh new players before he can enjoy is coaching with Chelsea next season and some of the key players are moving because any big club that offer them contracts they will go just to get name and get the play a big competition next season.

Chelsea will just focus on the premier league next season without playing champions league or Europa League competition. Let just see what xabi Alonso will be cooking after the World Cup is over.

Well sure like you did nailed the point here, That’s basically how Kane’s exit played out.

Spurs didn’t block him they actually priced him high but made it clear he could leave if the right bid came. And he did pass through a lot at some point. But the fact was Spurs didn’t stand on his way after all at the end.

And it still a good one that he did join Bayern Munich and even won a trophy for them, even though he still not convinced that much.

So loaning out players might be the club's management plan to raise money without losing the players they have currently, with the money raised, they can probably spend that on buying new and better quality players in preparation for the coming football season after the World Cup tournament comes to an end.

This is just my assumption anyway, I might be wrong, but then, whatever be their reason for choosing to loan some of their players out, may they succeed and become a better performing club come next season.

The numbers are high, 18 players on loan, is emptying the club, Spurs need to vet these players at the end of their contract and select the best to play for them, they'll work much harder, more than new signees, who have no sweat invested in the club already.

To me it isn't a bad thing to do, looking at their performance just at the concluded season; anything that the club can do to bring the team back to its form and keep the club running smoothly is welcomed because these players are being paid huge amounts of salaries each week, and if the club isn't achieving anything at the end of the season, especially the big clubs, then it definitely may put the club in a financial crisis if care is not taken.

Tottenham's defense really needs major improvement but I think this team also needs improvement in attack as they were on the brink of relegation in the just-concluded Premier League season. At this stage it seems that this team has been fortunately nominated for the Premier League next season, so it can be said that this team should now aim to buy some important players in all departments in this upcoming transfer summer. We can already see that Tottenham are trying to strengthen their defensive department, as a result they have already agreed to sign a defender from Brighton for 52 million pound. Now we have the feeling that Tottenham are planning a major change, for which they are looking to trained their defense by purchasing a defender from Brighton.

Man United have released a statement that Marcus Rashford is available for sale for £40 million (~$54m) but not to Liverpool or City, which Man United consider to be their archrivals.
So looks like Rashford is unlikely to be back to play for his old team. The club want him gone and he himself has said that he's not keen on returning to the Premier League. I think the price is reasonable enough to attract buyers, but the main problem could be Rashford's current salary. He is said to make £325,000 ($436,500) a week, so not many clubs will be able and ready to match that. That's probably one of the reasons Man United don't want to keep him. The media are saying that Michael Carrick is a fan of Rashford but he doesn't have the final say.
The other factor for selling him is that Man United are trying to start a new era and build something new from scratch. Taking back a former star doesn't fit into that vision.

We had reports that even when was hoaxed from Ruben Amorim team then it wasn’t actually Amorim who even wanted him gone but the top hierarchy actually wanted him out for reasons best known to them and let’s be sincere with those individuals still heavily at Manchester United and at the helm of the club affairs, Carrick can wish to have him all he wants but will definitely not get him. The club sees him as a bad influence to certain players and sincerely he has been a bad one plus let’s also look at his behavior since leaving Manchester United. He has been throwing tantrums to them and this Part of what will never make them accept him again.

His wages is also a very big block for him, just like Casemiro Manchester United wants to reduce that wage load on them and this players help reduce that Load, for Rashford himself I don’t think he will be sitting on that wage for any club again in the Europe except he leaves to another place

I never believed Chelsea will even allow Cucurella leave the team, he is part of the experienced player’s which Chelsea are having, and this is not even the right time which they are suppose to allow him leave.  Chelsea is trying to rebuild the team, and they are suppose to keep a player like Cucurella, now that he is no longer at Chelsea, I don’t know who is going to be replacing Cucurella in that position that will be able to perform the same way Cucurella was performing at Chelsea.

Tottenham has to do whatever it will take them to go for players, next season will be hard on them, the only way to survive without going into relegation as they nearly escaped last season is to sign competent players that can help the club, Tottenham are lacking behind in player qualities, defensively they are very underperforming, realising now is fixing the problem.

If Tottenham don't improve their squad, anything worse than last season they will end up relegated.

[GiftedMAN]

Chelsea will just focus on the premier league next season without playing champions league or Europa League competition. Let just see what xabi Alonso will be cooking after the World Cup is over.

Playing in the Premier League nest season will have Chelsea to focus more on building the team and try to concentrate more on the league since they will not be busy with other strong competition like the champions League. They will focus on trying their best to see if they can win the league next season, the world cup is already on and the players are trying their best for their different countries if Chelsea manages to sign more good players in the team they could end up bouncing back to the strong team they have always been.

They spend higher than the income from loan deals, purchased players cost spurs over 120 million euros in the last transfer window, no impact was found, other than battling in the bottom point position with wolves. Their own players would do much better with increased salary, and proper coaching, sending out a whooping amount of players on loan, closes the opportunity of building great potentials in the club. Stars are made from unexpected players, Spurs would be better off working on their players, than spending high on transfer markets, a luxury that doesn't guarantees success in premier league.

Of course, Tottenham must make major change, as the current squad will undoubtedly struggle to deliver at its best. Last Season, tottenham had to work hard until the end of the season to Stay in the premier league. Therefore, Tottenham owners must quickly overhaul the Team by recruiting quality Players.

Kane and son are two important pillars for tottenham, And without them, Tottenham have been a weaker team last Season.
Now, I see de zerbi being very active in this transfer market. He has already successfully signed jan paul from brighton, who is certainly a top signing, and I hope he can make a significant Contribution to tottenham next season.
